Quantity
Sand is sold by the ton.
Aggregate is dense enough that weight fills the truck before volume does — a loaded tri-axle runs out of axle rating long before it runs out of space. Measure the area in cubic yards the usual way, and we convert to tons at the material’s own density.

Mid-Michigan
Mid-Michigan is flat glacial till with pockets of heavy clay. Drainage is the recurring problem, which is why 6A washed stone and Class II sand show up in so many orders here next to the topsoil.
Southern Michigan yards generally load from early spring through hard freeze. The spring rush runs late April into June and is when lead times stretch; autumn is the quietest, easiest time to get a next-day drop.
Dropping sand in Lansing
Lansing is a town of about 112,644, and deliveries here are mostly short city driveways, where access matters more than volume.
City streets and short drives
Older city lots often have a short driveway, a narrow apron or an alley behind. A tri-axle needs a straight run and cannot reverse far around a parked car, so tell us in the drop instructions if the only approach is tight — the yard can usually send a smaller truck instead, and it is far better to know before the driver arrives.
